Where is Healing Touch Used?


Healing Touch is used in a wide variety of settings including hospitals, long term care facilities, private practices, hospices, and spas. Janet Mentgen, RN, founded Healing Touch in 1989 as a continuing education program for nurses, other health care professionals, and lay persons. Today Healing Touch has spread internationally and is taught in universities, medical and nursing schools, and other settings internationally.


What Happens in a Session?


The first session involves a consultantion as well as the energy session itself. The provider will ask a series of questions about the individual's physical, mental, and emotional situation, and will answer any questions. Then the individual will lie fully clothed on a massage table while the provider gently places their hands slightly above or on the individual. The session generally lasts 40 to 60 minutes, and people frequently report feeling deeply relaxed and peaceful during and after the session. There is a cumulative effect of using Healing Touch over time and regular sessions are recommended."

Qualities of a Healing Touch Practitioner/Healer

Consider the traits of your favorite health care practitioners. What attributes would you like to embody?Kind, caring, warm, open, genuine, peaceful, serene, calm, grounded, centered, accepting, attentive, gentle, respectful, are likely to be the words one would use to describe a loving healer. 

The above Characteristics are encompassed in the 4 attributes of the heart:Compassion Innate Harmony, Healing Presence and Unconditional Love. They are again reflected in the HTI Core Values of Integrity, Heart-Centeredness, Respect of Self and Others, Service, Community and Unconditional Love (once again). Janet Mentgen often mentioned that anyone can run energy, but in Healing Touch, we are always working from the place of unconditional love. 

Our HBB Code of Ethics/Standards of Practice guides us further. In our work, we are active listeners and observers. When beginning a session, we always set the intention for the highest good, with non-attachment to the outcome of the work. As a clear vessel, we allow the energy to flow as needed, honoring the individuals healing pace and respecting the client's beliefs. We are equal partners with the client in the healing process. We see the potential in our clients and ourselves, and aspire to that, creating opportunities for self empowerment. 

As healers, we realize that we are the healing environment, wherever we are, be it in a nice office, in a health care setting, at an accident scene, or at home. Our way of being creates safety and trust. We aspire to carry our gentle, healing attributes and remain grounded and centered throughout the day in all our interactions, spreading healing, love and light, restoring wholeness on earth. 

We work within our scope of practice, are cautious to do no harm, and work collaboratively within the health care system. We maintain a professional demeanor with appropriate therapeutic boundaries and confidentiality. 

A commitment to ongoing learning and self growth, and increasing knowledge regarding the Healing Touch Work increases our resources, which can then be shared with clients As healers, we are on a continuing journey of personal transformation.


The Goal in Healing Touch is to...

The goal in Healing Touch is to restore harmony and balance in the energetic system, facilitating the client's self-healing process."

Tips for the Energy Healers learning on their own

I am putting together these helpful hints because there are so many people who are coming into their spiritual gifts and they just don't want to go to school for a degree, or spend their time and money on a program. Often times when people sense they have a gift, they want to work with friends and family in their free time and don't have the money for a program, or time to take a class. Here are some tips that make the process easier.

0. Get to know the Major and Minor Chakras, what colors they are, what biologic systems they support, and how thoughts, food, crystals, music, and vibrations can influence them
1. Document your sessions, get to know your clients personal stresses and where they hold their stresses on their body's first, (draw what your intuition sees and feels) before and after, and set goals
2. Get grounded really well!!
3. Connect to the Earth and your Divine Source, and put on your protective suite of Divine Light
4. It's ABSOLUTELY NOT about how fantastic of a practitioner you are (know this)
5. "Use me as a tool to serve {so and so}'s highest good."
6. Ask to be guided by the Highest Divine Guides of the subject and yourself
7. Connect energetically to your subject by holding their wrists/ankles/shoulders and allowing their heart beat to come over your hands. You will feel a shift in your own body.
8. Use your imagination to visualize where you would like to direct energy (Utilize anatomy charts     for visualization tools)
9. Get to know the functions of the mind and body
10. No expectations of what healing looks like
11. Allow your self to be moved during your sessions
12. Ground your subject before ending the session.
13. Pre & Post Energetic Assessments, Ask subjects rate how they feel "Mind/Body/Spirit,"  before and after sessions.
14. Disconnect from your subject by mentally breaking the energetic bond, then, wash hands.
15. Do not give medical advice unless you are a doctor.
16. Give your subjects power to heal themselves. Suggest starting healthy new habits like; keeping a journal, meditation, exercise, getting grounded, drinking adequate water, being creative, ect..

Before choosing to practice working with energy, please review my blog, or other resources, on Daily Mantras and Introducing yourself to Empathy. I suggesting getting to know how to work with your own energy before attempting to influence the energy of others. Have this type of work done for yourself as often as you can. 

Daily Mantra

In my last post I talked about creating a Daily Mantra. As an Empath I have developed my own personal Daily Mantra with intentions that serve my journey as a Healer, and as a Human. I will dictate my daily mantra as follows:

"I am Love.

I am surrounded by the Highest Divine Angels who clear away all patterns, cut through false bonds, and false truths that hinder the progression of my ascension to my highest self. Jesus, the Divine Healer pulls out the core and the seeds of my discomfort, discontent, and disease and sends them into the Divine White Light. I am filled with Divine, Green, Loving, Healing Light that fills my wounds, heals my wounds and seals my wounds.

I am encapsulated by Divine Golden Light that carries me on my path. Only love comes in, and only love goes out. The rest is sent to the core of the Earth to keep Her in balance, and Her energy moves up through every pathway of my body and out the top of my head connecting me to my Divine Source, the Divine Matrix and Knowledge, making me conscious of Divine Records and Knowing.

I am protected behind a vail of Royal Purple Light by the highest Divine Warriors.

I am guided by the highest Divine Guidance, loved by the highest Divine Love, healed by the highest Divine Healers, taught by the highest Divine Teachers, protected by the highest Divine Protection. I hear my Divine Source, Divine Guidance, my highest self, Jesus the Ascended Master, and the Holy Spirit above my own hindering thoughts.

God use me as a tool to serve the highest Divine good of those you bring to me."

Before hand, I always put on my suite of Divine White Light as a means of protecting my energy for the day, event, session, what have you.

The intention with sharing this knowledge is to; bring you closer to your Divine Source and hearing your Divine Guidance clearer. To tell yourself everyday that you are healed, guided, loved, and protected. To protect your energetic system everyday.

It's beneficial to use your imagination with your energy and Daily Mantra while connecting to the Earth and your Divine Source and visualize everything you mean to create with your intentions.

Have fun with it!

Intro to Empath- Awareness, Intention & Protecting

Quite a few people are coming into their empathic abilities these days. People are recognizing that they are experiencing the stress, aches and pains, and emotional responses of others. Google define's Empathic as, "showing an ability to understand and share the feelings of another." Does this sound familiar? This was one of the first symptoms of my awakening. It has been a long hard battle but, I feel good about the evolution of my empathic gift. I will never claim to master any thing. I am still learning. I can, however, highlight the epiphanic understandings of the journey. 

If I can give any advice on how to make this journey less painful, you'll find it here in my blogs. I intend to empower you. 

1.) Observe your thoughts like a third party. Ask yourself, "Why am I feeling this way?" "Why am I reacting this way?" "Is this my truth?" "Is this who I want to be?" 

This allows you to (a) Reflect upon yourself. (b) Discontinue any behaviors you do not resonate with as your truth. (c) Find personal healing and raise your vibration, making yourself a clearer vessel. 

2.) Recognize, "Mirroring." As hard as it is, yes I know it's hard. Nobody wants to relate to someone who absolutely touches your last nerve. I get it but, THERE IS SO MUCH TRUTH THERE. Sorry. People who absolutely drive you to your last straw, and sit on your last nerve are, "waving red flags," for a reason. They are here to do the hardest work on your soul chart. They are here to reflect the little things within you that keep you stuck in inhibiting patterns. The idea here with Mirroring is, the things you love about yourself you will love in others, and the things you dislike about yourself, you dislike in others. A lot of the negative comes from judging ourselves and projecting that on to others. When you sincerely do some self reflection you will find something within you, often times at a different frequency but, you will find it. And when you do, (a) Reflect upon yourself. (b) Discontinue any behaviors you do not resonate with as your truth. (c) Find personal healing and raise your vibration, making yourself a clearer vessel. :)  Relationships with others is sacred ground. In this space you learn the most about yourself. Who you are, who you are not, and who you want to be. 

#'s 1 and 2 help to clear out false truths, self judgement, and keep the Law of Magnetic Attraction from sending these types of people to you because you will no longer resonate with their vibration, and will be mentally healthier for it.

#'s 3, 4 and 5 work well when done together with the intentions of developing and protecting your empathic abilities.

3) Set your intentions for your purpose DAILY, and speak them to yourself DAILY. This often becomes the "I AM" speech. This is the space you create to create the space you are. As an example, as an Empath, I ground myself, and connect with my Source of Love, Guidance, Security, and Health, all by telling myself, I AM connected to my..., I AM protected by... I AM healing everyday.... You can develop your own intentions by asking, "What areas do I want to strengthen?" Think on it a bit and write a list. You can do this all day long, and adjust as you see areas you'd like to progress in. Just add it to your list. 

When you set intentions, somehow, it works out. Remember that. 

4) Protect your energetic system using a suite of Divine White Light. You can make your suite look like any thing you want. Use your imagination with this one. Mine is very Boho, lol. The areas of protection necessary to assemble the mental picture is; shoes, belt, chest plate, shield, sword, helmet. Lately, I've heard to put on a "cloak of gratitude." Sounds like an amazing idea to me. With this, your intentions are to protect your energetic system from frequencies of energy that do not serve your highest good. I'm not saying that nothing bad will ever happen to you again, I'm saying that the intention is to protect your energetic system from frequencies of energy that do not serve your highest good. Now, that said, with the intentions being set, and a day later, you are feeling other people's crap, even though you put your suite on. Well, then, that was a frequency that serves your highest good. It's meant to teach you. If you feel it, you are to learn to transmute it. How you do that is your gift, I cannot adise you on the exact how but, the short answer is Love. Another part of this suite to remember is to use your imagination to create it at the beginning of the day, and use your imagination to take it off at the end of any situation that was stressful. It becomes a tool of letting go of all that happened in your workday, or with your in-laws, or at Wal-Mart, you know, all those stressful settings. Just zip it off and let it go. Just remember to put on a new one when you take off the old. I'm sure my energy practicing friends use this with every client. I've noticed it's helpful with every day. 

5) Get grounded and connected to your Source. I use my energetic system to send energy through the bottoms of my feet, to connect myself with the magnetic field of the Earth, known otherwise as "grounding," then I bring my attention/energy back up through my body, and out the top of my head, reaching for my Divine Source of Love, Protection, Wisdom, and Knowing. This opens the flow of your energetic system and allows an outlet of stored stress in the body, and other stresses that an Empath resonates with throughout their day. I use this tool at the begining of my day or if I feel really thrown through an energetic loop. I stop and ground myself during conversations that would otherwise make me nervous. It's an amazing tool. 

6) Understand that this is a healing journey for you as much as you would like to be a healing vessel for others, this is your journey, your path, your healing. You will notice as you do the hard work, and push through the dark nights of the soul, you will be a clearer vessel, and have a greater understanding of Divine Healing. Soon you are awakened to the magic of your soul and finding the passion that drives you, and allowing yourself to be driven. 

I hope this was helpful, and strengthens your gift and your wel-being. We have a lot of personal truths to clean up and clear out in order fine tune our gifts. I believe this tips will assist in that areana.

To name a few of my personal influences, the works of, Neale Donald Walshe, Eckhart Tole, Abraham Hicks, Deepok Chopra, Jesus, the Dalai Lama, and Caroline Myss. These are amazing Healers, and I would recommend starting with these authors. 

My name is Adriane Villegas. I am an Energy Practitioner, an Independent Contractor, a Single Mother, a Supporting Spouse to an amazing Working-Artist, a Wonder-Lust, a Teacher, and a Gifted Intuitive. In an attempt at sharing my passion and allowing the Divine Energies that surround me to use me as tool to bring peace and enlightenment to my friends, family and followers, I have created a blogspot. With this, I hope to share my many adventures, my meditations, and my life lessons. It has come to my awareness that I have a passion to raise the vibration and consciousness of all who seek it. By doing so, I hope to lead you back to your own heart, to find your personal truths, and open you up to a new perspective of the unlimited life you're living. 

In my blogs I plan to use my trusted tools and knowledge of healing methods. I often use Celestial Tarot and Angel Oracle Cards, stories from my Energy Sessions, my meditations, enlightening quotes from books I'm reading, my understanding of the energetic system, my understanding of holistic healing and lifestyle, and any channeled messages that I believe may significantly empower others. Often times I open myself to channel guidance from Source Energy that may influences conscious healing, conscious thought patterns, and conscious habits. I hope what I bring to the blogging table raises your vibe, entertains you, gives you thoughts to chew, and brings you healing. 

Thanks in advance for your friendship and love. I hope to learn as much from my followers and I hope to teach, 

Sincerely, 

Adriane Villegas
